BRUSH-HEAD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 672,902, Adated .April30, 191. Application filed December 31, 1900. Serial No. 41,586. (Nomodel.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEOPOLD HERRMAN, a

` citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBrush-Heads, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to brush-heads, and has for its object to produce abrush-head which will remain in theA position into which it has beenadjusted.

To these ends my invention consists in the construction hereinafter setforth and claimed. K

ln the accompanying drawings I have shown, by way of illustration, abrush-head embodying my invention.

In the drawings, Figure l is a broken-away elevation of a brush-headembodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on lines 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a similar section of a modiication, and Fig. 4 is a plan view ofthe brush-head.

In the drawings, a represents a wooden brush-head, which is recessed atb for the reception of a swinging block c or its equivalent. Thisswinging block c is shown in the present instance as a cylinder mountedon trunnions d, resting in screw-eyes e, set in the brush-head. Theswinging block c is apertured laterally with a screw-threaded aperturewhich receives the screw-threaded end f of the brush-handle g.

The end of the brush-handle is provided with a pin h, which when thebrush-handle is screwed Iirmly into the swinging block will make contactwith the Wall of the recess b, as shown in Fig. 2, or, as shown in Fig.3, the recess may be lined with a recessed or perforated plate t', intowhich recesses or perforatons the pin h on the brush-handle g willenter. It will be obvious that when it is desired to adjust the handleat a dilerent angle to the brush-head the handle may be unscrewed toremove the pin h from engagement with the inner face of the recess, andthe handle thereupon swung to the desired position and mounted in placeby being screwed down again, whereby the pin h will lock -the samefirmly to the brushhead.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

In combination, a recessed brush head, eyes e at each side thereof, ablock recessed for the passage of a brush-handle carried on pivots inthe eyes, and a handle passing through the block and provided with abrushhead-engaging pin or point h, substantially as described.

LEOPOLD HERRMAN.
